The entire data series has been revised following the completion of a technical exercise by the Census and Statistics Department in September 2012 to incorporate the latest international statistical standards as stipulated in the International Monetary Fund's Sixth Edition of the Balance of Payments and International Investment Position Manual in the compilation framework of direct investment statistics of Hong Kong.
(2) Country/territory here refers to the immediate source economy. It does not necessarily reflect the country/territory
from which the funds are initially mobilised.
(3) Negative inflow does not necessarily relate to equity withdrawal. It may be the result of repayment of loans owed to
non-resident affiliates.
(4) Country/territory here refers to the immediate destination economy. It does not necessarily reflect the country/
territory in which the funds are ultimately used.
(5) Negative outflow does not necessarily relate to equity withdrawal. It may be the result of repayment of loans by
non-resident affiliates.
